| Obverse description | The obverse features the Polish state emblem — the crowned White Eagle displayed — rendered in fine relief against a textured, granulated upper field. The lower portion of the field is rendered in a highly polished mirror finish, creating a striking two-tone contrast. The date '2014' appears above the eagle, while the inscriptions 'Rzeczpospolita Polska' and the denomination '200 zł' are positioned in the lower polished field in italic lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a portrait bust of Jan Karski facing slightly left, rendered in high relief against a divided field — the upper portion in a smooth mirror finish and the lower in a textured matte ground. A band of fine horizontal lines separates the two zones beneath the portrait. In the lower textured field, an italic inscription in Polish reads 'Byłem nikim, to moja misja była ważna.' ('I was nobody, that is why my mission was important.'), attributing the quotation to Karski. The name 'Jan Karski' appears as part of the coin's design context, with a designer's initials visible in the lower right field. |
